Graduate Research Groups

Graduate students engage in research as a fundamental part of
their curriculum through participation in our four Graduate
Research Groups:

Master of Architecure students in the 3 1/2 year track begin
their exploration of the Graduate Research Groups at the start of
their third year in the program, and must enroll in courses from at
least one of the GRGs during their last three semesters. Students
in the 2-year track enroll in GRG-affiliated courses immediately
upon entering the program.

Students must commit to a single graduate research group (GRG)
each year of their MArch. Students must declare their intended GRG
at the conclusion of the prior year. Changes from GRG to GRG
mid-year can only be accommodated, if space is available.

Inclusive Design is design for all. A global movement that
seeks to improve the usability of environments, products and
systems for the widest range of people, it is based on the
principles of social justice.

The Material Culture Graduate Research Group builds on Buffalo
and the Niagara Region’s legacy of material innovation, from
infrastructural experiments in moving goods to slip-forming
construction of concrete silos.
